Getting into part two of the Irish Breakdown podcast brought you by our friends over at Fanduil.

It's the Friday Free For All Mailbag.

We got Domer Gris getting us kicked off here in part two of the mailbag.

What has been the biggest surprise of the off season so far?

Um, I don't know that I found anything to be incredibly surprising in the

standpoint of like, oh, I didn't see that coming.

Like, did I know that Mike Mickens was going to leave when I found out he left?

No.

Was I surprised by it?

No.

Did I know that now Washington was going to

leave for the Dolphins? I had been given a heads up that that was a possibility. Was I

surprised when I was told that? No. That's part of the business. You know, Josh Burnham leaving. Was

I surprised by that? No. Disappointed, yes, surprise, no.

I just don't know that I have, to me, that there's been a lot of surprises of the

offseason for Notre Dame.

I got, yeah, that's. Yeah, I got two. Both of them are actually positive. One, I was very surprised that the offensive line didn't lose anybody to the portal. Like, that actually surprised me, not one. And then Jason O'Ne, getting a six-year of eligibility. Andy Milton fan beat me putting it into the chat, but just because that was out of Notre Dame's hands, essentially.

That was just kind of up to the NCAA to make the right decision

and grant a kid like that another year.

And that surprised me too.

Those are probably my two biggest.

I dig those.
